Camilla (Milla), Beautiful, love the NN
Charlotte (Lotta, Lottie), Classic, beautiful
Clementine (but Clemmie Phlegmy? - maybe Cleo?), I don't see Cleo as a nn for Clementine tbh
Clover, Not keen
Daisy, Not keen
Demelza (Dilly), Not keen
Loveday (Lalla), Not keen
Dorothy/Dorothea/Theadora (Dodie), Theadora is lovely but I'm not keen on Dodie
Flora, Not keen
Jocelyn (Joss), Like
Posy, Not keen
Kitty, Not keen, unless you used it as NN for Kathryn
Leone or Leonie, Not jeen
Merryn (Merry), Nice
Rosemary/Rosamund (Rosie or Romy), What about Romily instead?
Rosanna, Not keen
Rosalie, Stunning with a capital S
Emma, Again, classic and lovely
Vivi (prob from Victoria or Vivian), I've never heard Vivi as a nn for Victoria but it's cute
Xanthe, Like
Bella, Not keen, it doesn't have much substance.
Veryan, Not keen
Gigi, Not keen

Boys :

Wilfred, Not keen
Oscar/Oswald (nickname Oz), Oscar over Oswald
Charlie, Lovely
Inigo, Not keen
Hugo, Not keen
Xander, Love but as a nn for Alexander, not stand alone

Any clues as to what names you gave your 3 other DCs?

love Demelza and Oscar.
Love all your boys names and most of your girls names.
Not keen on Gigi(but if its a family name....)

wow, that is a long list of girls! Aren't Jocelyn and Vivian boys names?

Other than that, they are all a bit "posh" for my taste and circumstances. I like Emma, Any of the Rose names and Merryn. For the boys my favourite would be Charlie. I prefer Hugh to Hugo and Alexander to Xander and would maybe add in Edgar - too posh for me but lovely
